I may have saved 30 seconds at the counter because the clerk did not need to give me change, however I spent a good 10 minutes online making the reservation, paying for it, and printing it out.

Fast, simple, no printing&#8230;in my opinion that is still the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With my confirmation print-out I arrived to Ultramar ferry 10 minutes before the next boat was scheduled to depart.\u00a0There were MANY people in line to purchase tickets and a representative was stationed at a podium in the center, which I had never seen before.
